Team Rishab Shetty is currently basking in the glory of the success of their recently released film ‘Kantara: Chapter 1.’ The actor, writer, and director has always expressed deep love and respect for stories that stay connected to India’s roots, culture, and traditions. In many ways, Rishab has become the torchbearer of cinema that bridges the bond between humans and their origins, celebrating the essence of rural life, faith, and folklore.
In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Rishab spoke about another film that celebrates similar themes, the Marathi film ‘Dashavatar,’ which has been performing impressively at the box office. When asked if he had the opportunity to watch it, Rishab said,“I’ve heard about it and received good feedback, but I haven’t had time to watch it yet because our promotions started late. I will definitely watch it after our release.”
